Culture: Vastorians are an odd bunch as they live in one of the strangest bits of Seyan. People of the marshes both men and women rule equally here with no gender disqualification like there is in other parts of the realm. The nobles and commoners alike don't have much but what they do have is well hidden. Normal Mostly hunters in the various swamps and rivers. Along with no gender bias laws most women don't wear dresses but in leather. As their living condition would make it a large pain. The people are not often very tall. Often called 'Bog People' since most people tend to not like them for living such a lifestyle. Farmers are often held in high regard for the crops and bountiful foods that grow like wildfire here.

Military: The Vastorian army isn't a conventional one. Master of ambush, treachery and secrecy. Even with military training most recruits are often don't need it as the living conditions are a direct result on how the army works, guerrilla warfare is their specialty. According merchants, Vastoria has the best spearsmen and archers but again merchants like to talk. Also utilizing poisons to the fullest extent as the swamps produce the most vile of sorts. Some of which are forbidden because of their cruel use. But to keep them safe anything goes, even if its a knife in the back.

Economy: The various streams, rivers and marshes are the highways which trade is conducted on. Roads like the outside world but to truly emerge oneself into their economy, you'd need a boat and a guide. Since their secrecy is beyond legendary. The swamps and marshes produce large amounts of sugar cane, gattorskin and pitch. Sugar cane which is generally beloved by everyone and is always in demand. Other than this these people tend to be very poor. Or if you need to know someones secret who's better?

Reputation: Vastors are the sneakiest lot that one would ever encounter and their world is even sneakier. While they aren't greedy they don't give away what they have for cheap. The nobles are even sneakier, their permanent homes are said to float threw the bogs, never standing in one place. If its true or not remains to be answered, but they'd let you believe what ever the wine merchant says. While they're secretive, Vastorians honor any agreement in trade or war and can be counted if an alliance is struck. The key word is 'if', since they tend to be compulsive liars. Is it the truth? Who knows but between their own kind only they know the truth.

History: Vastorian's are one of the original people of Seyan but have largely kept out of most affairs of the other kingdoms until recently. Otherwise Vastorian's have had a relatively peaceful existence. Several hundred years ago a major incursion was made into the lands of the swamp kings. However it was met was stiff resistance. Knights drowned in their armor, wounds festered and the animals feasted on the bones of the dead. Killing the prince and his father in its process. Destroying the kings line in the process. But since they keep to themselves Vastorian's have been rather shy. Only recently have they married outside of their own people. The biggest news to come out of these swamps is that the two eldest children of the current swamp king have married one another.
